Katie Lake, Jury ChairpersonDear Prospective Teacher:The 2020 NCBA Convention will be held in Durham, NC, March 26 - 29, 2020, at the Sheraton Imperial Hotel. Classes will be scheduled to begin on Thursday afternoon and end on Sunday Morning. Seminars will be scheduled for Thursday or Sunday. Please make a note on the application if you cannot teach during a certain time period. All teachers are responsible for any equipment needed to teach the class or seminar (i.e., slide projectors.)We are especially interested in baskets that have not been taught at NCBA previously. You must be a member of NCBA to teach. The pay scale for teachers for the 2020 Convention will be $20.00 per class hour. There is no hourly payment made by NCBA for seminars and mini bonus classes. Class size will be limited to a maximum of twelve (12) and a NCBA minimum of six (6) students: If your minimum student number is more than six (6), please note that number on the application. Instructors are required to give each student printed instructions or at least a materials list, lengths to cut, and any other printed information they would need when attempting the basket at a later time.With the exception of classes where material preparation is part of the learning experience, (i.e., splitting oak, shaving ribs, etc.) kits should be prepared for the students by the instructor, with as much PRE-CUTTING done as possible, thus allowing more time for instruction in class and insuring that the students COMPLETE their projects.
